WOW!

So everyone…Welcome back! Wow! It has been quite a crazy week for me. I must make a confession here and now: I have been so overwhelmed that I almost feel like a slacker for not going above and beyond in EVERYTHING. Then again, that’s somewhat unrealistic of me right?

Well I do feel confident about my Trigonometry class. I lost sleep and didn’t each much last week because I was so stressed about our first test. However, I think I did very well. All weekend I’ve been looking forward to finding out my grade on the test. Unfortunately, my patience is being tested; my professor canceled class for today due to an illness and so I have to wait until Thursday to have my grade revealed to me.As far as my other classes: well let’s just say after this week I can not and will not fall behind. I am working hard to remain positive and productive. My life functions best when I am organized…and the last week or two have thrown off my regular routine. I have felt very happy though.

Family and Friends are some of the greatest blessings from God. They occupy so much of my time each week…but they bring me so many smiles and so much laughter. Thanks to them, I’ll be living longer and happier! I would like to give a special thanks to the friends I share every day with and to my family for encouragement and support through my studies.

Also, I have to say congratulations to my best friend Alycia. She lives in Graham, Texas but is giving birth to Naythan Lee Dilworth today! I am the official God-Mother and I can’t wait to visit them soon! I’ll let everyone how the delivery goes and the little trip to one of the smallest towns in Texas! Haha  Have a great week and thanks for the love Tomball College!

Busy LiL Bee!

            Well well well everyone. It’s mid-September and school is in full force. I must say that I am busier than I realized I would be: SALSA club, Student Ambassadors, and recently I’ve joined Student Activities Board. Wow! I’m kept busy with meetings, blogging, Activities Mart, homework, work, family, and dating. Haha I don’t know how I have time for the latter of the group but I manage well. Don’t get me wrong, I love participating so much. It’s what I love to do: helping others while working together with amazing fellow students.  

I’m taking a Chemistry class in the mornings at the North Harris Campus every Monday and Wednesday. I work at Tomball College immediately after CHEM 1411 from 1:00pm till 9:00pm. I can honestly say that I have felt overwhelmed and exhausted. The only days I don’t work at the college are Tuesdays and Thursdays BUT club activities and classes keep those days filled with excitement and work. I have some tests this week to prepare for, along with quizzes in Trigonometry. As Enrique mentioned, I too felt overwhelmed with the work but realized the best thing is for me to take the time to carefully study my notes and complete all homework assignments. It amazes me sometimes that simply completing my homework ahead of schedule relieves so much stress and pressure. Trust me, I am working very hard to catch up and stay ahead in all of my classes. 

On a lighter note, this past weekend was filled with good times, family, and friends. I went to dinner and a movie with a group of friends on Friday. 

  I also spent all day and night Saturday with my family celebrating the five birthdays we have in September.  It’s Monday and time to get back into “school and work mode.” I don’t have much time for recreation during the week. However, I am thankful that my fellow Student Ambassadors and I take time to have lunch together on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  

Well it’s time for me to get back to work and homework so please share with me about your days. I love to share with everyone about my daily life as a college student and employee. Ask me questions, tell me anything! I wish everyone a wonderful week! 

I survived the first week!

Ok everyone! So in the last blog I was super ecstatic about joining Tomball College. My first week of Fall classes are over and I am still so happy to be here!

I am currently taking English 1302 and Trigonometry at TC. I must say these are rigorous courses but my professors and fellow classmates have reassured me to my inevitable success.

The first week is a great time to become acquainted with the campus and professors. They have been so friendly and enthused about my classes that I actually look forward to coming every day. (Well of course I LOVE socializing with my friends too)

Working here keeps me busy, too, of course. Students are continuing to register and submit financial aid paperwork. I love my job but I enjoy participating in club events much more! I am Vice President of SALSA club - so you’ll definitely find me working on campus for that group. Also, as a Student Ambassador I’ll be working on campus with one of the BEST groups of students and advisors. (That’s me in the photo above with the Ambassadors this August.)

I promise to keep you updated on what life is like for me, here, everday, at Tomball College. Between work, classes, and clubs, I truly can be found on campus every day of the week.

Getting Started

Good Afternoon, everyone! I’m taking some time to say hello and share information to remind you that Tomball College is a great learning institution! It’s truly a whirlwind of fun and responsibilities.

I work here at Tomball and I represent TC Student Ambassadors - therefore, I’ve learned so much over the past year. Of course, registration may seem like endless policy and paperwork. However, I want to let you know that help is here! Admissions office, students, and staff are all so friendly and helpful.

One of my favorite aspects of Tomball College is the friendliness of everyone here. As a fellow student, I felt more confident with the courses I registered for and the clubs I’ve joined after meeting with other students and staff. So, don’t be afraid to ask questions!

My classes have just begun so I’ll be sure to update you next week and let you know how well my semester began!
